Chica and Gregory ran as fast as they could away from Roxy and Monty, entering the backstage area.
Chica: Down that hallway leads back to Rockstar Row! Come on!
Chica picked Gregory up, carrying him so the security bots couldn't spot him. They ran down a long hallway, passing by several doors before bursting through another door.
Chica: In order to reach the next security badge, we need a backstage pass!
Gregory: I thought you already had access to one!
Chica: We did. But one day, Roxy walked in there to surprise the workers but broke some important tech in the process, and got our backstage passes revoked...
Chica couldn't help but giggle, remembering the moment
Gregory: Ok then, where do I find one?
Chica: Look around! There should be one in here!
Gregory and Chica both looked around. Gregory found a present near the door. He opened it up and found the backstage pass
Gregory: CHICA! I FOUND IT!
Chica: Great job! Now come on!
Gregory and Chica ran out the door and entered Rockstar Row.
Chica: That door there leads to the rehearsal room! Come on!
Gregory used the backstage pass to enter the room. He ran up the steps with Chica close behind him. He entered a door marked with Chica's guitar and walked inside. He looked around and in front of a large vent on the floor was another badge. He pressed the button and an alarm started blaring.
Gregory: Wait, what's this? It looks... old.
Gregory picked up a small disc along with the badge. Suddenly, Roxy's face appeared on the monitors behind them
Roxy: Greg! What did you do? Whatever you did caused Monty to run off!
Gregory: I found the badge!
Suddenly, Gregory heard footsteps from both sides. He looked at the cameras. It was Freddy on one side. On the other...
Chica: N-no way...
Chica looked at the screen and saw Shattered Glamrock Bonnie, her eyes wide with shock
Chica: He was right, Roxy. It really is Bonnie...
Roxy: You can't let them in! Chica, you know this, the doors are wired with electrical charges. Greg, press the buttons on each side if they start trying to get in.
Gregory: How are we supposed to get out?! We're locked in here!
Roxy: Do you see that large vent on the floor? Have you ever heard of Among Us, Gregory?
Gregory: What?
Roxy suddenly smacked her head, her eyes rotating around in her head
Roxy: Sorry, that was a glitch. Do you see a large vent on the floor? You're probably standing on it right now
Gregory: Yeah, I do.
Roxy: I don't have a backstage pass, so you're gonna have to use the buttons on the monitors to open the doors leading to that room. If I can reach that vent, I should be able to force it open and catch you
Gregory: What about Chica? Can't she open it from here?
Roxy: Greg, if she was to fall and hit the ground from that high, she'd shatter. Just get me there and I'll get both of you out!
Roxy's face disappeared, suddenly replaced with the Rabbit Lady's. This time, Gregory knew Chica saw her.
Vanny: ARE YOU HAVING FUN YET?!
Chica: That's the Rabbit Lady?!
Gregory: You see her?!
Chica: Yeah, I do! We need to get you out, Greg!
Roxy's voice appeared on his Faz-Watch
Roxy: Look at the monitors! Can you see me?!
Gregory went monitor by monitor, letting Roxy through each time she's speak up, when suddenly, Bonnie began slamming on the door labeled with Monty's guitar.
Bonnie: Y-y-y-o-u c-a-a-a-n't hi-d-d-d-e, G-r-e-g-o-r-y-y-y!
Gregory ran over and slammed the button, sending a controlled shock through Bonnie. Bonnie let an ungodly robotic screech, probably due to his damage. Gregory covered his ears until it stopped. Suddenly, Freddy started banging on the door labeled with his microphone. Chica this time, took over
Chica: Sorry, Freddy!
Chica pressed the button, sending a shock through Freddy.
Roxy: Kid! KID! I'm almost there! Let me in!
Gregory ran over and pressed the final button. As Roxy ran into the room beneath them, Gregory saw someone on the monitors, the Rabbit Lady was skipping up the steps
Gregory: ROXY! THE RABBIT LADY IS HERE! WE NEED TO GO, NOW!
Suddenly, Roxy appeared under the vent and jumped up high, grabbing hold and forcing it open.
Roxy: Alright! Greg! Jump first!
Gregory jumped down the hole, falling into Roxy's arms.
Roxy: Gotcha, kid!
Roxy gently set Gregory down before looking back up
Roxy: Alright now, Chica, easy does it.
Chica sat down, inching her way into the hole before jumping down. Roxy eased her on the way down, managing to hold her up to prevent Chica from hitting the ground and shattering
Gregory: Whoa! You're really strong, Roxy
Roxy laughed
Roxy: Damn right! Like I said, kid. I AM the best.
Chica: Yeah you are! Come on!
Roxy: The next security badge is in Parts and Service.
Gregory: Alright! How do we get there?
Roxy: Follow me.
Gregory followed Chica and Roxy down a few hallways before exiting a door and reaching the main stage.
Roxy: Alright, we need to activate the lift!
Chica: Greg, you grabbed a disc, right?
Gregory reached into his pocket and grabbed the disc
Roxy: That's a show-time disc! If you can reach the third floor and activate it, it'll allow us on the lift.
Gregory: I can do that!
Roxy: You sure, kid?
Gregory: Yeah!
Chica got on her knees and put her hands on Gregory's shoulders, looking him in the eyes
Chica: Be quick! If anything bad happens, you tell us immediately! Got it?!
Gregory: Yeah! I promise!
Chica nodded
Chica: Please, Greg...
Chica's grip on his shoulders tightened as she closed her eyes
Chica: Be safe.
Gregory nodded before running off. Roxy looked at Chica, noticing how genuinely concerned she looked. Gregory ran right past the main stage, suddenly stopping when he noticed a spotlight. He looked up on top of a small building was Monty
Monty: YOU CAN HIDE, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE!
Gregory snuck around the spotlight, what Monty said still confusing him. He snuck up the steps, running to the next staircase, noticing it blocked off.
Gregory: Why are there so many security gates now?
Gregory quickly turned around when he heard the mechanical walking of Glamrock Bonnie. Gregory ran to cover, using his Faz-watch to check Bonnie's location, noticing he was near the open staircase near the Roxy Raceway entrance. He turned around and slowly approached the staircase.
Bonnie: T-T-T-ime t-t-o f-f-f-ace the cons--s-s-quence-s o-o-o-f you-r-r choice-s-s-s--s
Bonnie began to slowly and sloppily stomp off, allowing Gregory to sneak past and walk up the staircase, reaching the third floor.
Gregory: Alright! There's the sound booth! I just gotta put the disc in and head back to Roxy and Chica!
Gregory quietly began approaching the desk when he heard more footsteps, this time it was Freddy.
Freddy: Come on out, Superstar...
Gregory ducked into the sound booth before Freddy noticed him and he put the disc into the player, instantly the Showtime program began. Music began to play all across the room, and giant holograms of the Fazbear Band members appeared on stage.
Roxy: Not bad, kid! Now come on back!
Gregory nodded, even though they couldn't see him, and ran on back. Making it to the second floor easily, but on the second floor was a bit much. Bonnie stood guard again. Gregory snuck around the bunny when suddenly, the elevator opened up and out skipped the Rabbit Lady
Vanny: ARE YOU HAVING FUN YET?!
Gregory: Oh, come on!
Gregory quickly ran down the stairs as quietly as he could as to not alert Bonnie. He then spotted Freddy patrolling the aisle and Monty guarding the stage
Roxy: Kid, Monty's in front of the stage here, be careful, and hurry!
Gregory looked back and saw the Rabbit Lady getting closer and closer, also noticing that Bonnie too was chasing him, she must've alerted him. Gregory ran past the photo booths, getting Freddy's attention. Then he made it to the main stage. Because of all the commotion, Monty too was alerted
Monty: ROCK AND ROLL!
Gregory dodged the first attack attempt, making it to the stage, but then Monty lunged at him again
Gregory: AH!
Chica: GREGORY!
Monty grabbed Gregory's leg, digging his claws into the boy. Gregory tried breaking free, looking back at Monty, he noticed something, a small purple something under his claws, the same purple sparks coming from it. Before he could get a better look, Roxy kicked Monty in the face, causing him to let Gregory go.
Roxy: Sorry, gator boy!
Chica grabbed Gregory and dragged him onto the lift. Roxy slammed the lift button and the lift began to go down.
WITH VANNY
Before Vanny and the rest could reach Gregory and the others, the lift began descending.
Monty: GAH! ALMOST HAD HIM!
Bonnie: Y-y-y-y-o-o-u le-t-t-t h-h-h-i-m g-go, c-c-croc!
Monty looked at Bonnie with soft eyes, genuinely hurt by the harsh tone in Bonnie's glitchy voice
Vanny: ENOUGH, BOTH OF YOU!
Vanny sighed, looking at a watch under her suit
1:54
Vanny: *laughs* Just in time...
-
Roxy quickly turned back to Gregory and Chica
Roxy: Greg, are you ok?
Gregory held his leg in pain, blood dripping down his leg, Roxy put a supportive hand on Gregory's leg
Chica: Gregory! You're damaged! We need to take him to a First-Aid station.
Roxy: We will, we just have to-
Suddenly, the lights turned off, and only the emergency lights remained on. Suddenly, from the opposite end of the lift
???: NIGHTY NIGHT!
Gregory: I-it's Moon!
Roxy: Damn! It's nearly two o'clock! The power has been diverted to the Recharge station! We need to head there!
Chica: All three of us can't fit into a Recharge station!
Roxy: You need to keep Gregory safe. You two head into the Recharge station.
Chica: Again, Rox?! You can't keep-
Roxy: You have to keep him safe, Chica!
Chica sighed and nodded in defeat. She picked up the hurt Gregory and once the lift stopped, all three ran off. As they reached the recharge station. Roxy shoved Chica into the station with Gregory. The recharge cycle began and a lot of thuds erupted from outside. Gregory looked out and saw Roxy on the floor, the Moon at her feet. Moon waved in a mocking manner before dragging Roxy off
Gregory: R-Roxy!
The recharge cycle ended. Chica walked out and looked around
Chica: ROXY?! ROXANNE?!
No response. Chica gently put Gregory down before falling to her knees in defeat.
Gregory: Roxy! Roxy, can you hear me!?
No response from the opposite end of the Faz-Watch. Gregory slowly stood up, and small bits of blood dripped down his leg. He slowly walked over to Chica
Gregory: We have to keep going, Chica. Once we find the fourth security badge, we can find her!
Chica sniffled before nodding.
Chica: F-first, you need to get to a First-Aid station.
Gregory nodded, the pain in his leg getting worse. Chica gently picked up Gregory, carrying him like a child. She walked toward the First-Aid station nearby a vent, a naked Endo-Skeleton not too far away. Gregory sat down on the small bench. Chica grabbed some bandages and carefully wrapped them around the claw marks on Gregory's leg. Gregory winced in pain as she tightened them.
Gregory: Ouch!
Chica: S-Sorry!
Gregory: It's okay...
Gregory panted in pain as he looked up at Chica
Gregory: Y-you can do first-aid..?
Chica: Yeah. All of us are built with a First-Aid program, just in case paramedics don't arrive at the Pizzaplex before things get worse...
Gregory: You guys sure are cool.
Chica smiled, looking up at Gregory before finally fastening the bandages
Chica: That feels ok, Greg?
Gregory stood up, gently moving his leg around, the bandages holding strong
Gregory: Y-yeah. Thank you
Chica nodded before suddenly hugging Gregory.
Chica: I promise you, Gregory. I won't let anyone hurt you.
Gregory quickly returned the hug
Gregory: I know. Now, come on. Let's go get that badge and save Roxy!
Chica let go and nodded, standing up before looking back at the Endo-Skeleton. Did... did it just move?
